The sun. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1937-1972, November 05, 1937, Image 1
Professor Epting rushed in late
the other afternoon, dollar in hand
and all out of breath. The Sun was
slowly sinking over thar on yon hills.
The setting was perfect. The dollar
was genuine. “I wanted” he said a-
mid and amongst pants (short
breaths) “I wanted to get under the
line before another sun departed whis
glorious earth to crack the eyes of
waring chinks.” So saying, without
further ado, save for the continued
short pants, he tendered us a
buck in his best French manner and
we fell upon his neck, first grabbing
the dollar and putting it in our sock.
Following the restoration of equili-
brum the professor dashed out into
the night, receipt in hand, a happy
mortal. We to our hovel and brood
and much rejoicing over a hunk of
cow and a slab of bread.
rrs no use
Even we good columnist get in a
funk now and again and find it hard
to turn out a column. You have a
good crack but don’t know how the
victim will take it, so that’s out; the
sizzling and frying of the old pipe
offers nothing but a couple of cats on
a back fence, nothing funny about
that; the calender which tells you
tomorrow is the first is certainly not
funny. The only thing I can think
of when a kid is of a serious nature
so I just well get going on that—no
use trying to be funny so close to the
first anyway.
No one but a school kid knows
what it is to be hungry. You just
don’t experience the same hunger
when you grow up, snd the pampered
and petted kids of today will never
know real hunger.
I lived about half a mile from the
school house and the last two blocks
was paved (by nature) with flint
rocks of varying sizes. When I got
out of school at two o’clock, hungry
as a hant, * got such a momentum on
the way I could not slow up when I
reached those rocks, and so tackled
them day after day like a rooster
walking on ice. I never carried a toe
nail, those rocks claimed them all.
I don’t think I had a decent toe nail
’till I was 18 years old when I start
ed wearing store bought shoes.
About the time a toe would get well
I would pop it against another rock
and the pain would be so severe I
would hop for a full block, the wound
ed member in both hands. I have
often hopped right into the house on
one foot.

scaly animal that lived way back in
1910 and which existed entirely on
flint rocks. Then I’ll know they’ve
been digging around the old home
town.
WROTE IN DIFFERENT AGE
Herman Langford, furniture man,
and a sport of sorts at that season
when a young man’s fancy turns to
feminine dreams in frilly frocks,finds
the world in such shape that he totes
’round a maxim tempered to the age.
This particular bit of wisdom “Nook”
found in the philosophy of one David,
a lady’s man himself by-the-way.
Upon proper povecation, Herman
will tell you that he and King David
see and saw eye to eye upon the ob
servation that “all men are liars.”
Herman shouldn’t take that too lit
erally. In David’s case it meant what
it said, including himself, but take
the writer for instance. No,it would
n’t apply to this day Herman. David
came along before the day of news
paper men. If he were writing in
this day he would add “except news
paper men, furniture dealers, butch
ers, bakers, candlestick makers” and
so on. He’d be afraid not to. Some
body would cuss him out.

New Fire House Is
Of Dignified Beauty
Scaffolding about Newberry’s new
fire house has been removed and Sun
day motorists and pedestrians were
treated to a view of the dignified
beauty of the home which houses the
city’s howling fire engines and other
water squirting apparatus. Fulmer
Wells was the architect on the build
ing and the finished product cer-
tianly reveals his talent. It looks
just like a fire house should look,
beautiful with a rugedness apt to the
vocation the volunteer boys like so
well.
Chief H. B. Wells spent months of
time and some hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of thought on the
building and the fine Italian hand of
the fire chief is in evidence on every
side. Newberry is fortunate in hav
ing men so entirely wrapped up in
the fire control business as to make
great sacrifices for its futherance.
The words “Newberry Fire Depart
ment” are engraved on the snow
white front of the building. We have
seen nothing in cities here about to
compare in utility and beauty.
The engine room will house six
pieces of apparatus. Provision hasi
been made for fire alarm and battery
rooms at the rear and hose storage
racks on the left wall.
Leading upstairs are two sets of
steps. Here are arranged four living
apartments to accommodate four
night drivers should such number be
needed. The rear apartments have
temporary partitions which may be
removed in case the department ever
becomes full time paid, allowing a
domitory with the front or chief’s
quarters built in permanently.
In the basement is the furnace
room, kitchen, dinning hall, game
roam, repair shop and showers.
The entire building is designed to
take care of present requirements,
and also reasonable future develop
ments. It is heated with hot air and
the same ducts may be utilized for
• iduit and fiti ..
For the alarm System has been plae
in floors and walls in readiness for
the day when Newberry will have
thav promised alarm system.
The old market shed beside the new
'ire home has been given a coat of
white plaster to match the new build
ing but still has the appearance of a
■nonestary and with a little imagina
tion one can see black robed monks
moving in and out its wide arches,
while a few steps down the big mo
dern iron horses of the fire calmly
await the alarm to be off on a mad
dash to save a life or a home. The
mcnestary should be tom down and
erected in more suitable surroundings.
Anyway, Newberrians are thumb
ing their galluses over the new fire
home, and we hope all the satisfac
tion they expect come to those who
put the thing over; much of it under
trying circumstances of battling pea
nut politics.

CATCHES BIG CRAPPIE
Mrs. T. E. Epting took from Lake
Murray Monday afternoon what
seems to be the record hereabouts
for a crappie. According to Claude
Sanders, the fish weighed more than
four pounds. There have been sever
al two and two and a half pound
crappie caught at Lake Murray, but
we have never heard of anything to
eoual Mrs.\ Epting’s catch. Mrs.
Epting is one of Newberry’s most ar
dent fishermen. The weather never
gets too bad, the time never too
early or too late fqr her. We con
gratulate as well as envy her.
mg of this «quest wi
of about =25 miles distance in bus
traveK between Augusta and Char
lotte and will be of far reaching im-
oortance to Newberry, Saluda and
Johnson and other communities on
this new short cut motor route which
was recently completed as an all-
naved avenue of travel from North to
South. Some opposition has develop
ed to the proposed service by a com-
neting bus line by but pressure is
being brought to bear in behalf of the
Greyhound lines, many believing
this line can render a more efficient
service.

KOHN ISSUES APPEAL
TO FLOWER GROWERS
On account of the lateness of the
Fair this year there is a possibility
that the flower show will suffer, un
less flower growers all over the
county bring in everything they can
find that looks good enough to ex
hibit in the various classes, which
comprise roses, marigolds, zinnias,
cosmos, gladiolus, collection of M
santhemums and dahlias.
All flowers for exhibit should be
brought to the flower show depart
ment between 8 and 11 a. m. Tues
day November 9th. Bring your own
vases or containers, please.
Although the prizes offered are
not large still they will repay you
for your trouble in bringing your ex
hibits. Many Would be willing to ex
hibit without prizes, out of a public
spirit and love of flowers.
So this year, of all years, we ask
the hearty cooperation of the flower
growers and flower lovers of this
county. Help us have a creditable
flower show to inauguarate the new
county fair.
At last Rotary meeting the county
fair was discussed and the present
set up explained. The club went on
record as being in favor of the Fair
and urge the public to get behind the
Fair this year.
